I'd suggest these possibilities:

1. Hire an attorney who practices regularly in THIS court, preferably before the same judge, to review your file and advise you as to whether you have any basis or hope for a motion for relief.

2. Prepare for trial, including in your trial preparation a plan to have the witness there who knows the answers to the questions you need answered.

3. Consider whether there will be an opportunity to settle before trial on acceptable terms, e.g., whether there will be an alternative dispute resolution attempt under 28 USCA 651 et seq.
